Didn't even know I was racing.

[specialized.1]

I might like some of your opinions on this matter that's been bothering me for a while. So I'm out drying the car off and it's finally getting warm so I open it up a bit. Nothing excessive just a nice offramp maybe 5000 rpm in fifth. Anyway I was going home to a lasagna in the oven and my sweetie was to be there in a few minutes. I pull up to a red light a few minutes later an this cop is on me lights and sirens. I don't know where he picked me up so I pull up to a gas station and pull over. Well now comes the fun. So I open the door and he comes running up with his gun drawn yelling, and I mean yelling. So I get out and I don't really like this gun aiming at me. So I comply and do the usual or unusual to me. I am arrested or so he says. I get to sit in the back of the car cuffed while he writes me tickets. He says I was trying to out run him and If I was I would have. I never knew he was there. I think he overreacted. Am I so wrong to think this was overreacting? If he was a mile or two behind how would I have seen him? I was just having fun endangering no one but myself. I thought they were here to serve and protect. Not terrify and dictate. I wonder how the judge will see this?

[ss~zoso~ss]

5000rpms in fith is like 150mph dude

[third_shift|studios]

5000rpms in fith is like 150mph dude

my thoughts exactly! wtf...

ummm, that's shitty man, Sounds like it's up to the judge, but i hope he had a camera in his car.

[Roastem]

Yeah, you were movin'. Even if it was a ticket for speeding, it is gonna be a nasty one. You might lose your license. You should have just kept on truck'n. Technically you were already trying to outrun him anyway, might as well deserve it.

If you are going like 20 or so over the speed limit, then yeah, stop and take your medicine. If you are DOUBLE the speed limit when they see you, you might as well keep it floored.

I had one whip around on me when I was doing triple digits in the Cobra, so I just matted the throttle and never saw the f*cker again!!

Now that is a real adrenaline rush! Just hope you don't have anybody with you at the time, 'cause you might decide their fate, plus they will prolly freak out and scream like a little girl every time you run an intersection.

[third_shift|studios]

i would never do that....that's bad news. Knowing me, i'd get caught.

[Pyromaniacal]

You must have been hauling some ass to be 5000 RPM in fifth. Very few cops are here to serve and protect my friend, most cops are here to strike the final note on your wellbeing as a person. The logical choice is almost never the choice that they make, atleast not around Utah. Soon as they see me they're already judgin' me, I've had cops follow me for miles when I've done nothing, its ridiculous. I've seen people pulled over for the most retarded shit, wasting MY tax dollars. I've got cops demanding I do yard work because my lawn is "out of code". I could go on for hours about cops around this pisshole.

But, I do agree with Roastem here, if you're already going triple digits when they see you, gun that shit and get off the road asap, head for residential as fast as you can and take the scenic route back to your garage, you need to get off the street within 10 minutes or so or you are seriously risking it, make sure nobody catches your plates, don't give them the opportunity to, but in residential you need to take the most convoluted road system you can think of. Their little pos cars aren't catching up to you any time soon but don't assume much, keep shit crazy and they'll never catch you. But if hes like right behind you, forget it, you'll just go to jail for no reason.

It really helps if you know the area where you're trying to get away from the cop, or have GPS onboard, they will save your life in this situation. Oh and sorry for the essay, I'm passionate about this topic.

We should boot all of the road-cops off the force and stick F-body cars and drivers in their place, then shit'll get done right, thats for damn sure.

[Roastem]

i would never do that....that's bad news. Knowing me, i'd get caught.

Getting killed was what I worried about the most, IT AIN'T LIKE YOU CAN TAKE IT BACK once you decide to run for it.

[Roastem]

5000rpms in fith is like 150mph dude

Even with 4.10's that is at least 135 mph.

[MikeSomething]

Holy CHRIST!!! 5000RPMS in 5th...that's opening it up alil? If I saw a cop pulling a UTurn while I pass him doing 140+mph believe me, I'm going for the gold!!!

[specialized.1]

Only thing is I didn't even know he was around. I don't look in my rearview when I'm doing that stuff. He caught up to me miles later at a light. I think I was treated unfairly and I feel bad about this. Oh ya the car has 3.42s. I have actually ran them numerous times before, but this time I didn't even know he was there. I will tell the judge maybe people who get a gun aimed at them may not want to stop next time. He was a fat pig of a man and his blood pressure was through the roof. Good for him for stressing me out as well. If I had wanted to run him I could have easy, I was just playing.

[Zboner]

yea your screwed man, license gone

[badazta]

Happened to me in highschool, passed the cops at alittle over 135 they turned around I stuck it to the floor. 6 miles later a county truck found me and radioed the po po. Guns drawn ripped out of the car and north to jail. The judge asked my defense I flat out told him that I never seen the cops. They did give me a reckless driving, 113 in a 55, and they dropped the fleeing and aluding to a failure to obey a police signal. Still costed my around 700 plus 60 days no license and 300 hours community service. (if only I was famous). My best friend is now a cop in L.A. and I hear horror stories a the time. My thoughts are be honest get a traffic lawyer might cost you a couple grand but if he saves your butt it will be worth the lower insurance and keeping you license. That stuff stays on record 3 - 5 years, Good luck, BATA

Here are your mistakes.

1. Obviously going 3 times the limit is a problem.
2. Getting out of a car after being pulled over before being approached by the officer.

I can tell you now that if I see a car going well over 100mph, then when I pull it over, the driver, inexplicably gets out of the car! Where is your head man? Getting out of the car when you are pulled over? I'm not trying to preach, but that is a really bad idea. Not to mention that here in California, the speeds you were traveling at are a FELONY.

[Crimson Sin]

:Potty: When I was 17 I pulled something similar, in a 73 Road Runner.. had a 340 sixpack out of a 70 'Cuda.. 137 in a posted 35 around 4 am....Never saw the officer that clocked me...A couple of state patrol officers had the road blocked miles up the road.. shotguns aimed at me.."HANDS I WANNA SEE YOUR HANDS !!" etc etc "TAKE KEYS FROM IGNITION WITH YOUR LEFT HAND!!" I am sure you know or have seen the drill... felony style arrest... face in the dirt, knee to the back of the head...etc
All I can say is...I was young, .I was dumb, I learned a lesson. Cost me my car and a couple years no license.. and ALOT of MONEY...Get a Lawyer, PRAY, and SLOW THE F*CK down on public roads.... Good luck brother....
Your gonna need it.
My heart goes to ya
D~

[ramrod]

You were speeding, and were all guilty of posting top speeds in are rides! Now being caught in a road sin there is a piper to pay. Now having a fire-arm being pointed at you, (is by any means a police officer having a bad day), and over reacting where it could caust him, and you some issues! I am sorry to hear about your problem, and I know I get all lead footed when I come home from work, and wanting to see my love, but (knock on wood) this was a wake up call for me reading this. Good luck!

[jb'sWS6]

I agree with the wakeup call. I had one yesterday as I was driving home from work. I'm rolling along in my dd (96 Beretta) and I see a new mustang coming up in my rearview. I'm on a 4lane so he moved over to go around me and as he went by I pointed at his car and gave him a thumbs-up. It looked nice and I was being polite. You would have thought I flipped him off. He made some kind of gesture and then floormatted it. If I had been in the TA it would have been on. Anyway, went about a mile and a half further and saw an IA State boy with him pulled over. Nothing like a honk and wave as you go by!:kick:

[Pyromaniacal]

And that is why I never go more than 5 over unless it's in a street-race. Call me pussy but I don't need a ticket for dumb shit. Not a single ticket on file yet, either, and I have plenty of fun.

[Deuuuce]

HUGE mistake getting out of the car. You had a chance if you kept your hands on the wheel, greeted him and laughed with him telling him what you were doing.

[ramrod]

Bro !! Your my little brother's age! You have been driving for a year . I would hope you would not be getting a ticket a year into driving, my friend. For me I have never had a ticket, but when you know how to drive, and where to drive, go for it. Your no pussy, just wet behind the ears grasshopper. It's all gravy...:yup:

[LS666]

Mash it and try to run is probably the most stupid advice I've ever heard. If you get zapped for excessive speed, so what. In most places it's a misdemeanor at worst. Running from the police is a FELONY. Got that? A FELONY. Yeah, you can get away if everything works right but if not you are completely and royally screwed. Yeah, there are good cops and bad cops but don't compound it by being a moron yourself.

[FireChicken2000]

What that cop did was not over reacting, over reacting is this, about 3 week ago iam crusing in the truck when this loud as hell mustang 04ish pulls up and throws a rev, well i know this road and there is no way iam going to race on this road, so i just toss him a frieldy rev or two and he returns them, the hole time down the road were throwing revs, my truck is in nuteral when all of a sudden i hear tires screaming and look in the rear view and theres a popo right on my ass, so we both pulled over, both thinking we did nothing wrong, he jumps out and comes running to my door yelling at me "GET OUT OF THE DAM TRUCK NOW!!!!" so i get out he gives us both warnings on "Speed Contest" and rights up for 65 in a 35. :wtf: my truck was in nuteral and there was no way in hell i was going 65 the mustang either so we both went and fought and got it reversed but, the Cop had his gun drawn too?? :wtf: :wtf:, Sorry to hijack just dont get these dam cops some times.

sorry to hear that dude but sounds like your dead.

[shady milkman]

man outrun the cops on a public road...guys i love ya...but don't you think thats completely dangerous and stupid? imagine going 135+ and hitting into another car? isn't worth it to me..i couldn't forgive anyone if they killed my mom or family..and the reasoning way 1. becuase they were going close to 2x the limit and 2. becuase they didn't want to pay a ticket and lose their license for couple of months. I hate to preach and i love speed, but to do that for that reason...crazy..get radar detectors..should warn you about po .

[Roastem]

What if you get away with it, and nobody was hurt, except the cops ego?

[lockdown332]

well if u need to sell your car to pay your ticket lemme kno. im interested :giveup:

[Hawk241]

Dont anyone preach about outrunnin' cops, what about what the cop goes through, every f'n' day, all they ever do is deal with peoples problems, never dealing with anyone happy all day, domestics, disturbances, how to tell people how do raise their kids after they call you..having to remind them that they are the parents and to raise their kids right etc etc., wrestling with drunks in back alley's.... and when people run either by foot or by vehicle ... are they armed ..why are they running?..did they just rob someone? Hurt someone? thats what goes throught their heads as well. So what if they wreck in some way, either by foot..trying to catch you in a car, and get hurt...are you going to support him or their family? ..EITHER WAY you will!

[0rion]

Yeah, the getting out of the car was a major mistake. Cops hate that. I keep my hands in plain view and never lean over to get shit out of the glove box until he gets to the car and asks me to.
Running from the cops is stupid. Actually, running from the cops is something you do as a kid because your stupid. I did it. Got away with it. Very lucky I didn't kill myself or someone else in the process.

true that..i'm not a fan of the po-po around here becuase they hasle me..but i have took time out of my day and thank a state trooper for everything he does...it was at a Wendys durring lunch.....my god the crispy chicken nuggets are sooooo good. they are my premium fuel :flex:

Cops like a good car chase as much as anyone else would. It is called EXCITEMENT. If you didn't like it, you wouldn't be a cop. There are plenty of jobs out there for the weak-hearted.

[Hawk241]

"ECITEMENT " , When they whatch "cops" in their teens and yes for their first 5 or what ever years on the job, then they get married have families and in this day and age LAWSUITS! They are the ones getting sued when during the chase somebody not involved gets hurt! OH is that when they become "weak-hearted"? All that is on their mind as well. Excitment yes, but more than just that. Its not " Excitement" when someone gets hurt! How about variables? Cops work long hours, double shifts, getting older, police car conditions, tires, brakes.., traffic, weather...on and on, chases in the rain or snow cant be fun, oh yea " Exciting ", all those variables make that a heart attack, on the most physically fit.Yea a good car chase might be excitement, but then whats the aftermath?...In the rural areas..you and them, maybe now after miles of a chase, they now want to fight ..run on foot, cops are still thinking..do they got a gun? why are they running, did they steal that car?..what am i up against..psp..some murderer..what...

[Roastem]

Every cop I ever talked to said they loved their jobs. And car chases.

[Jason05GTO]

I tried to outrun a hiway patrolman back in 85, it didnt work. Same deal, gun out, cuffed and thrown in the back. I was expecting the Rodney King treatment, but didnt get it thank God. I actually got out of it, he saw I was just a punk kid who didnt know any better and let me off with a ticket. But it scared me enough that now as soon as I see lights I pull over and am nothing but nice. Of course a military ID has gotten me out of quite a few tickets, so if you can come up with one of those - itll help ;)

At least nobody got hurt and you didn't kill yourself! ;)

[LS666]

Like I said, if everything works out for you and you get away with it it's all fun and games. If you kill someone you're going to prison and the family of the deceased will own you for the rest of your life. Same thing with street racing. Kid locally was racing, lost control and rolled it. Passenger died and he's in the pen for manslaughter. It aint worth it. If your out screwing around and earn a cite, bend over and take it like a man. Don't think about the ticket your getting, think about all the other tickets you earned but didn't get stopped for.

[Fade2Black]

Bro !! Your my little brother's age! You have been driving for a year . I would hope you would not be getting a ticket a year into driving, my friend. For me I have never had a ticket, but when you know how to drive, and where to drive, go for it. Your no pussy, just wet behind the ears grasshopper. It's all gravy...:yup:

I got my first ticket at 14 LoL

Never ran on the highway but on the main streets yes. Cant touch this:nana:
anyway I was in a situation where i was going to run on the highway racing a camaro i blew past a state trooper at 155+ but he didn't chase
he knew better
Me and the camaro kept moving

[Roastem]

Cant touch this :nana:


You are a little young for MCHammer. STOP! HAMMERTIME! :nana:

My-my-my-my LS1 hits me so hard
Makes me say,"oh my lord thank you for blessing me
With a mind to race and two fast cars"
It feels good
When you know you´re fast
A superdope Z28 with class
U can´t touch this :nana:

Unless the cop is right behind you and has his lights on, you're not "running from the police". Its impossible to tell if a cop is coming after you if he's hiding in the woods with no lights on and comes after you after you've gone past.

Going by your reasoning, every day hundreds of people would be getting felonys on their drivers licenses. Don't tell me you've never been hit with radar and made a few quick turns to avoid the potential ticket - anyone with common sense would, you're not "evading the police" until the officer has made his presence clear by coming up behind you with the lights on.

I had some asshole cop try and chase me up my own road for getting hard on the gas as I went past him. I nailed the throttle to the floor in 2nd and blew him away before he could even turn around or put his lights on. The fat bastard was searching my neighborhood for a good 20 mins looking for my car - and I hadn't even technically done anything wrong. Obviously he had nothing better to do, it was funny for me though, he was probably really pissed :devil:

[Roastem]

:haha:

You made him drop his doughnut. Sure he was pissed.
